How long does it take for an inmate to be taken in department of Corrections upon his final sentencing?? We heard at first 60 days, but we are going on 90 and still NOTHING he is still at regional with no news of anything? Is there something I can do to find out?

My boyfriend was in jail for 9 months before finally getting transferred. When I contacted DOC, they told me they didn't have all his paperwork. When I contacted the court, they said all the paperwork is on a system the DOC has access to.

Yeah I am finding out more and more daily how much crap they make up just to cover up they aren't doing their job. I know Regional FINALLY got his paper work from the final sentencing but still nothing and he was suppose to get court ordered work release (which DOC has to approve apparently) but still 90 days after final sentencing nothing or then he was sentenced in June moved to Regional end of June and still there but has made what they call Work Force, but due to him not being from there apparently he cant use money that he could get working on that work force toward his court cost or fines
